Spent the day at the Tokyo Internatiknal Forum attending two sessions at the Hitachi Social Innovation Forum 2015. It was two really good speakers sharing their thoughts, experience and anecdotes on innovation and creativity.

First out was the founder and CEO (his name slips my mind right now) of 3DR, the biggest commercial drone company in the world. They are larger than all the traditional airplane companies together, counting drones. He got the idea for the company playing with Lego with his kids, and started the company by partnering with a 19 year old kid in Tijuana that he did not know and had never met in real life (only over Internet). 

The second speaker was Tom Kelley, founder of IDEO and creator of design thinking. He spoke of creative confidence and how much potential we miss out on just because we are not able of unlocking our creativity. 

If you have the chance to hear either of them speak on these or similar topics… Don’t miss it!
